How it works

Each cast of Divine Protection costs 35 Mana. Its aura procs every time its trigger condition is met.

Divine Protection is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 25.
  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 39.

What it does

Divine Protection is a Holy spell with an instant cast, no range (it targets the caster) and effects that last 8 sec. When cast it applies an aura.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the WoW Forever beta client, build 1.60.1.70532. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
